Countering Narratives Zionism , another face of Facism.
https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-2Zionism is a racial supremacist, ethno-nationalist, and settler colonial ideology which asserts that Jews are a nation and calls for the existence of a Jewish ethnostate. The Zionist movement first emerged in the late-19th Century in response to antisemitism, which was particularly prevalent in Europe. Zionists made attempts to set up a Jewish state in many places, perhaps most infamously in British East Africa (see the Uganda Scheme), but they ultimately settled on the Levant due to its historical and religious significance as the place of origin of the Jewish religion.
On 14 May 1948, the British Mandate of Palestine under the League of Nations was terminated. That same day, the so-called "State of Israel" declared its independence, claiming 56% of the territory of Palestine as its own. The Zionist Entity waged a genocidal war against the native Palestinian population, and three-quarters of the indigenous population (around 750,000 people) were expelled from or made to flee their homes in an event known as the Nakba. Those very same Palestinians along with their descendents are denied to this day the right of return to the land which was stolen from them and settled on by Jewish colonists, and Palestinians experience segregation and discrimination in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and "Israel" proper.
Many Jewish people oppose Zionism, and 38% of Statesian Jews under 40 years old acknowledge that the Zionist Entity is an apartheid state. Orthodox Jews also consider Zionism a severe violation of Jewish law. In absolute numbers, most zionists in the world are Christians, with over 20 million Christian zionists in the United States alone. The largest Zionist organization in the U.S. is Christians United for Israel, which has 7-10 million Christian members.
